spawns – The Daily SPUF

Why are all these spawns the same?

Okay so, new season here, and it’s… uh… off to a rocky start. At least, it is in my eyes. The release of the schedule for June has been a bit lame, what with Mega Rayquaza being stuck in Elite Raids (rather than a raid event like the Primals were), the Community Classic day being Cyndaquil (with no way of getting Blast Burn on Hisuian Typhlosian) and Goodra’s special Community Day move being Thunder Punch, a move that has just been given to a TON of other Pokemon for free. And while we got a really nice splash screen for… [Continue Reading]

Spotlight Hours in Pokemon GO

June 10, 2023May 31, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, spawns, spotlight hour

Every Tuesday in Pokemon GO, we get a spotlight hour. During the spotlight hour, 99% of spawns turn into one specific species of Pokemon, starting from 6pm local time until 7pm local time. But are they worth doing? Or are they a waste of time? It depends on the Pokemon It really, really depends on the Pokemon. There have been all sorts of Pokemon in spotlight hours, ranging from Minun and Plusle to heavy hitters like Beldum. Generally though, the spotlight Pokemon is related to whatever event is currently going on. For example, during the last Rocket Takeover, Skorupi was… [Continue Reading]

The Little Gap Between Events

March 16, 2023March 15, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, seasons, spawns

As of writing, there is no event going on in Pokemon GO. The Festival of Colours event has ended, and we’re getting a Team Rocket-based event coming next week. Because there is no event going on, we get basic seasonal spawns. Pokemon that spawn naturally in the wild, based on whatever season we’re in. By ‘season’, I don’t mean normal, in-real-life seasons, I mean the ones in Pokemon GO. They do kinda sorta co-exist with real seasons, but the seasonal spawns aren’t always related to winter or spring or whatever. The current season is Rising Heroes, and we’re expecting more… [Continue Reading]

Lures VS Incense in Pokemon GO

February 5, 2022January 31, 2022 Medic 0 Comments incense, lure, pokemon go, spawns, wayfarer

Not everyone lives in a massive city with hundreds or even thousands of Pokestops. Some places, like where I live, have small pockets of high density Pokestops, but trail off quite quickly. Other places have pretty much nothing when it comes to Pokestops, and rely solely on one tiny spawn point, or the daily spawn of one Pokemon. Luckily though, there is a way or two that you can force Pokemon to spawn. If you have a Pokestop nearby, you can deploy a Lure module on it, and Pokemon will spawn at the Pokestop one at a time, as long… [Continue Reading]

Please Calm Down With the Bunnies

April 5, 2021April 4, 2021 Medic 0 Comments bunny, common, easter, event, pokemon go, rant, spawns, spring

Last weekend was Easter. Well, for most people, it was Easter. For me, it’s not Easter until the end of the month, due to Orthodos Christianity being… like that. But for everyone else, it was Easter. So that means everyone else has to have some sort of Easter-themed event. So of course Pokemon GO had an Easter event, even if it’s not specifically called an Easter event. Spring into Spring brought everyone’s favourite Easter-like things. I mean, it’s not a not-Easter-but-still-Easter-related event without eggs and bunnies and stuff, right? The collection thing is back as well, with a bunch of… [Continue Reading]

All These Pokemon GO Events are Kinda The Same

March 30, 2021March 24, 2021 Medic 0 Comments event, pokemon go, spawns

Okay, so, over the last few weeks, we’ve been having events. That’s not much of a surprise, really. Events basically happen weekly now, all the time. In fact, Pokemon GO is made up of more events than normal spawns. But there’s something odd about the last three events. They’ve… all… kinda been the same… To be fair, there’s only so much you can do to make events seem different. There’s only so many new Pokemon and shinies you can add. And you can’t just keep on giving everything new moves and releasing more and more Pokemon, because, well, there’s money… [Continue Reading]

A Little Look At Pokemon Spawns Near My Home

June 8, 2020June 2, 2020 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, ramble, spawns

I’ve been doing some… experimenting lately. I’ve actually been leaving my game open in Pokemon Go for long periods of time. Originally, I was just trying to hatch eggs. Using something called GPS Drift, your avatar in Pokemon Go will wander around, even if you don’t move. But this movement isn’t pointless. With enough patience, you can use it to hatch eggs! And, if you have really shoddy GPS, you can also get the 50km walking milestone. But as I had my game open, I noticed some things. Namely, how Pokemon spawn around me. I have one spawn at my… [Continue Reading]
